The Kenya Schedule – Part Two

Part One here.    

Monday, July 14

At 6 am, we got our wake-up call. At Siana Springs Tent Camp, that consists of a man standing outside your tent saying “Jambo!” (hello in Kiswahili) until you respond in kind. I found myself waking up strangely early – for me – so I was usually awake before the call came.

By 7 am Monday and each day to follow, we met the rest of the group for breakfast before departing around 7:30 am for Nkenijii School in two vans.

I’m not sure about the distance to school in terms of miles or kilometers; only that the drive across the savanna took anywhere between 45 minutes and an hour and fifteen minutes. If I recall correctly, the first day’s trip was the longest and the bumpiest before our awesome drivers figured out a different route.
